Description
Stories about siblings are common in literature and everyday life. However, the subject of sibling relationships has been largely overlooked by psychiatrists, psychologists, and therapists. Dorothy Rowe presents a new way of thinking about siblings that combines seemingly contradictory aspects of these complex relationships. This approach helps us understand the various experiences involved in sibling relationships as a result of the drive for survival and validation. By exploring this perspective, we can gain a deeper understanding of our own relationships with our siblings and ourselves. If you have a sibling or are bringing up siblings, this book provides valuable insights into what it means to be part of a sibling bond. Dorothy Rowe's work offers a fresh perspective on the complexities of sibling relationships, making it an essential read for anyone looking to understand their place within these bonds.
